Option 1 : 100 cm2

Concept:

length and breadth of a rectangle meet each other at 90°

Explanation:

By joining the diagonal, a right-angle triangle is made inside the rectangle.
Who’s perpendicular = 6 cm, Base = 8 cm

Now, by Pythagoras theorem
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2

Hypotenuse = 10 cm

Diagonal of rectangle is equal to the side of square.
∴ Side of square = 10

Area of square = (side)2 = 100 cm2

Short trick:-

Pythagorean triplet: 6, 8, 10
Perpendicular = 6 cm, Base = 8 cm, Hypotenuse = 10 cm

Diagonal of rectangle = Base of square = 10 cm

Area of square = 10 × 10 = 100 cm2
